My father always says, "Nothing is as bad as it seems," meaning that just because something is perceived as the worst thing that could ever happen, it isn't always Like this. An experience is only as bad as you perceive it to be. This also reminds you that you are in control of your mind and the thoughts that pass through it. You create your reality, no one else has that power over you. All your ideas and perceptions are your reality, which is a matter of your being. In terms of reality and being, there are many different parts. By exploring questions related to ideas, altered perception, and virtual realities, we have explored the parts of philosophy that prove complicated, but interesting. Plato and Aristotle were both firmly convinced that things should be seen as they really are and that human perception of reality will always be different from what it really is. Because each person works differently and processes things differently, we are led to believe that reality is also different for everyone
